Changes in Women’s Clothing

Fashion designers the world over are coming up with new fashions every season. However, they often go back to the clothing fashions of a bygone era.

Short skirts appear to be one of their favourite items, and it keeps coming back after a few years. Are these designers running out of new ideas? It looks more a case of pressure exerted by the retailers in the industry to design what is popular.

In most Asian countries the Saree, which is a length of broad material draped around the body of a woman, seems to be the norm. The few changes that the saree has undergone is more a case of draping rather than an actual change. The same could be said about the Kimono in Japan. This garment first made its appearance in Japan about 2000 years ago, and it has still not undergone much change. It is only a different fabric that has been used. Muslim ladies often cover their head and face. They wear a garment commonly referred to as a dishdasha. This garment is of an ankle length and is flared at the waist and wrists. Most countries have a national costume. This national costume is popular in all parts of Africa. Clothing worn by desert folk is designed to provide protection from the sun during the day and also to keep out the cold in the night. The women in these parts are not very fashion conscious because of their culture.

Clothes in the West are by far those that frequently change and establish fashion trends that are picked up by other countries where there are no cultural barriers. The fashion changes embody the seasonal requirement. For example, the clothing designed for fall garments is generally of light flannelette while those designed for winter are of fabric lined with material referred to as Sherpa.

Women’s fashion designers in the West work closely with top models in the business who show off the latest fads. These models are selected mainly because of their superior body shape. They are highly paid, and it is a well-organised chain of activity. For the latest women’s fashions that have hit the Australian shores, you could peruse myfriendalice.com.au.
